The literature base for endovascular treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) has grown exponentially in recent decades. Bibliometric analysis has been used to identify impactful articles in other medical specialties. The aim of this citation analysis was to identify and characterize the top 100 most cited articles in the field of endovascular BAVM treatment.
The top-cited papers were identified by searching selected keywords ("endovascular treatment," "interventional treatment," "brain arteriovenous malformation," "emboliz(s)ation") on the Web of Science platform. The top 100 articles were ranked according to their number of citations. Each article was further evaluated to obtain predefined characteristics including citation(s) per year, year of publication, authorship, journal-title and impact factor, article topics, article type, and level of evidence.
The top 100 most cited articles for endovascular BAVM treatment were published between 1960 and 2014. The total number of citations for these articles ranged from 56 to 471 (median 85.5). Most articles (76%) were published between 1990 and 2009 in three journals (56%), originated in the USA (52%) followed by France (16%). The most common topic related to embolization agents and the majority of articles constituted level IV or V evidence.
This study provides a comprehensive overview of the most cited articles in the field of endovascular BAVM treatment. Our analysis recognizes key contributions from authors and institutions in the field and leads to a better understanding of the evidentiary framework for BAVM treatment.
近几十年来，脑动静脉畸形（BAVM）血管内治疗的文献数量呈指数级增长。文献计量分析已被用于识别其他医学专业领域中有影响力的文章。本引文分析的目的是识别和描述血管内BAVM治疗领域中被引用次数最多的100篇文章。
通过在Web of Science平台上搜索选定的关键词（“血管内治疗”、“介入治疗”、“脑动静脉畸形”、“栓塞”）来确定被引用次数最多的论文。根据引用次数对前100篇文章进行排名。对每篇文章进行进一步评估，以获得预先定义的特征，包括每年的引用次数、发表年份、作者、期刊名称和影响因子、文章主题、文章类型和证据水平。
血管内BAVM治疗领域中被引用次数最多的100篇文章发表于1960年至2014年之间。这些文章的总引用次数从56次到471次不等（中位数为85.5次）。大多数文章（76%）发表于1990年至2009年之间，发表在三种期刊上（56%），起源于美国（52%），其次是法国（16%）。最常见的主题与栓塞剂有关，大多数文章构成IV级或V级证据。
本研究全面概述了血管内BAVM治疗领域中被引用次数最多的文章。我们的分析认可了该领域作者和机构的关键贡献，并有助于更好地理解BAVM治疗的证据框架。
